Star-Studded Louis Vuitton Show Features Madrid-Bound Celebrities
The front row at Louis Vuitton’s latest Paris Fashion Week presentation sparkled with A-list talent, many of whom are currently juggling film projects in Madrid. The Spanish capital appears to be experiencing a Hollywood moment, with several of the luxury brand’s ambassadors either filming or preparing to work there.
Madrid Becomes a Hollywood Hub
Academy Award-nominated actress Jennifer Connelly and Cuban-Spanish star Ana de Armas are set to depart for Madrid this week to begin production on the upcoming AppleTV+ series “Safe Houses.” Meanwhile, Chloë Grace Moretz has already made the Spanish city her temporary base while working on the action-comedy “Mister,” which also features Walton Goggins.
De Armas, who previously lived in Madrid for several years, expressed enthusiasm about returning to her linguistic roots. The multilingual performer confirmed she would be incorporating Spanish dialogue into the predominantly English-language production, embracing the opportunity to reconnect with her heritage.
Fashion Forward Choices
At the Parisian runway show, de Armas showcased her keen fashion sense by highlighting specific pieces from the new collection. She particularly admired a distinctive leather jacket featuring harness-inspired waist detailing and sculptural shoulder elements. The actress also praised the collection’s oversized handbags and whimsical pointed headpieces, suggesting she might debut one of these statement pieces at an upcoming red carpet event.
Connelly, who maintains a long-standing relationship with Louis Vuitton and creative director Nicolas Ghesquière, demonstrated her unwavering confidence in the designer’s artistic vision. The veteran actress revealed that while she cannot recall her earliest red carpet appearance, she has carefully preserved many of her memorable looks from throughout her career, particularly from her early Hollywood days. Rather than considering these pieces for museum display, she plans to save them for her daughter’s future use.
International Filming Adventures
Moretz took advantage of her European location to attend the Paris show, noting the convenience of the short flight from Madrid compared to her usual transcontinental journeys. She praised the Spanish capital’s culinary scene and vibrant atmosphere while sharing that she has been learning Spanish during her time on set.
For the fashion presentation, Moretz selected a lightweight seasonal jumpsuit from Ghesquière’s newest offerings, describing it as perfectly suited to the unexpectedly warm Parisian morning and embodying a fresh, spring-like aesthetic.
Other Notable Attendees
Zendaya made a striking appearance in a flowing white dress from the brand’s previous spring collection, which she had specifically noted during its October debut. The multi-talented performer explained her attraction to the piece’s combination of structured elements and fluid movement, describing it as simultaneously professional and playful.
Swedish actress Alicia Vikander connected the collection’s pointed hat designs to Scandinavian folk traditions, having recently returned from a fairy-tale wedding celebration in northern Sweden. She is preparing for her next project, the dark comedy “The Worst,” which will film in France alongside Keira Knightley and Jamie Dornan.
Olympic figure skating champion Alysa Liu experienced her inaugural Paris visit, with plans to see iconic landmarks and sample local cuisine. She coordinated her outfit to complement her distinctively striped hair, wearing brown denim featuring the house’s signature monogram details.
Jaden Smith attended alongside Christian Louboutin, the founder of the footwear house where Smith now serves as creative director. The young artist carried an intricately crafted house-shaped bag complete with miniature architectural details, including a small owl figure perched on the roof.
